Nightmare

Crawling on all fours on a sidewalk in an unknown town

Try to get up, but you can't, weakness holds you down

Pretend to be looking for something lost in the ground

Cause people stare at you

This is a nightmare

Uniformed children dancing around you step on your hands

Cute little creatures with the features of your best friends

They try to stone you with marbles and chewing gum balls

You're to weak to get out of there

This is a nightmare

Climbing the stairs of a house that is rocked by a storm

Higher, higher, you're tired, you crawl like a worm

There's a roar in your ears, the wall disappears, you are jolted down

Still creeping to nowhere

This is a nightmare

Drag yourself through deserted streets under a dusty sun

Trying empty bars, flats, stores, one by one

Your brothers, your friends, all the others, where have they gone

Is anybody there

This is a nightmare
